Microscopy makes it possible to visualise clot formation in mouse arterioles. On the left, a platelet clot (green) blocks the entire vessel; on the right, treatment with the inhibitor EMA601: the thrombocytes seal the injury but do not form an occlusive thrombus. (Image: Stefano Navarro / Universitätsklinikum Würzburg)A new highly effective thrombosis inhibitor is in sight: Würzburg scientists present promising inhibitor EMA601 for efficient prevention and treatment of arterial thrombosis and inflammatory reactions without increased bleeding risk.
An unhealthy lifestyle, diseases or injuries, genetic predisposition, and increased coagulation tendency can promote the formation of thrombi in blood vessels. These clots obstruct the flow of blood to vital organs, which may lead to life-threatening infarction. Therefore, preventing and treating thrombosis is crucial to avoid severe complications. ...
